3. Agatha's Rejection

Livy, who initially lowered her head, suddenly looked up when Agatha mentioned the word divorce.

"What? Didn't I explain everything? This is for our good, baby. I don't want to divorce you just because we haven't had children until now." Shortly after leaving the church, Agatha came to slap Livy, and Artha immediately explained the meaning of his marriage to Livy. But, even now, Agatha still looks angry and even asks Artha to divorce his new wife.

"Are you sure I'd be willing to see you marry her?" Agatha pointed at Livy's face using her index finger.

"I married her only so she could get pregnant and give birth. Later, the child she gave birth to will be publicly recognized as the child of our marriage, Agatha."

Agatha looked at her husband with a look full of disappointment. What woman would be willing to have her husband marry another woman, especially without telling her first? Even though the reason Artha gave made sense, Agatha still didn't accept it. She couldn't imagine how much her heart ached when she saw Artha sleeping alone with his second wife.

"If it's just because we want to have a child, why don't we just adopt a child? Lots of places sell abandoned babies, right?" Agatha was still stubborn. Until whenever she is not willing to have to share a husband, even though Artha doesn't love Livy one bit.

Artha took a deep breath. He held Agatha's shoulders, so her wife's eyes looked straight at him. "Listen to me. I've done all this after very long deliberations. Do you think I want to get married or even sleep with and make love to another woman besides you? No, Agatha. I did everything for the sake of our marriage. You know the threat from my father if we do not have children within a year."

Artha took Agatha's hands and stroked them gently, his eyes looking straight at his wife's beautiful eyes. "What was your question just now? Do you want us to adopt children from places that sell babies? Don't you think that the shape of their faces will be different from mine as well as yours? Do you think my father won't be suspicious of this? What if he grows up and his face doesn't look like mine at all? Daddy will ask for a DNA test."

Artha's question made Agatha speechless. Her husband was right. Agatha can't get pregnant because of her illness. Ovarian cysts do not allow sufferers to get pregnant. Moreover, her in-laws gave her one year to have children. If she can't, like it or not, Agatha must divorce Artha, even though she loves her husband very much.

Marrying a respected person like Artha is a joy but also a challenge. There are so many things that Agatha has to fulfill. Before getting married, she was required to complete her education in college, graduating with achievements that must surround her. Even when she was married, there were many things that Agatha had to do. Participating in social gatherings, yoga classes, archery, and shooting classes, and there are still many things that she must participate in for the title of an exemplary wife in the Artha family.

Agatha thought that following all the rules in the family was enough for her to be accepted by Artha's extended family. But it turned out that Agatha was wrong. After years of marriage to Artha, she has not been able to provide offspring for this man. Various therapies have been tried, but Agatha never conceived. Until the climax, Agatha was sentenced to suffer from ovarian cysts. She was mentally exhausted by her illness, now coupled with her father-in-law, who was pressuring her and Artha to have children soon.

Agatha was about to give up. She intends to enjoy one last year with Artha before they divorce. Because the obstetrician said Agatha only had a small chance of getting pregnant.

Her sense of resignation changed instantly when this morning Artha's assistant picked her up to come to church. Unexpectedly, it turned out that her husband had done a blessing there. Artha married another woman without her knowledge.

"Are you sure this bitch will be able to give you offspring anytime soon?" Agatha's question made Artha speechless.

To be honest, last night he freaked out. He must immediately find a woman who wants to conceive his child. Without thinking twice, he went to the black market, selling bitches. When he got there, Artha realized that the women here must have had a disease in their genitals. But when Debora brought Livy into the middle and said that the woman was still a girl, without thinking, Artha immediately stated that Livy was his.

There was not the slightest thought given to checking Livy's health condition. Will the girl be able to give him offspring in a short time?

"Are you sure she's free of venereal disease? You know what I mean, right? The women that night were very susceptible to HIV because of their jobs of 'serving' a lot of men." Agatha's sharp words made Livy look at the woman.

"Sorry, but, for your information, I'm still a virgin. I've never been touched or even made love to any man. I can also guarantee that my body isn't infected with HIV, as you said." Livy finished her sentence firmly. She even emphasized the madam calling for Agatha.

"How can I believe you? My husband found you in a nightclub, which is, of course, a dirty place. I'm sure your body is just as dirty as that place." Agatha replied to Livy's words no less sharply.

"It's my first time working there. I'm a complete virgin, and your husband was the first to buy me. If you still don't believe what I'm saying, we can check with the medical personnel." Livy was bought by Artha. But that doesn't mean her pride just disappears.

"Did you just brag about being a virgin? Hey, bitch. Just being in that dirty place proves that you're no longer a respectable lady. But a lucky bitch that my husband bought her." Agatha again pointed at Livy's face using her index finger.

"I am indeed a paid woman. But I have advantages that you do not have. You know what that is, Miss?" Livy smiled crookedly before she continued her sentence.

"I can give your husband offspring, and you cannot." Livy pointed back at Agatha's face with her index finger.

"Shut your freaking mouth, bitch!"
